I am so clumsy on my phone...

Dayum, Pepper....that's cast iron!๐Ÿ˜„

It's time for prescriptions.
I'm at the bifocal point. I requested single vision for driving because I can still read a book without them.

You are lucky you can still read! I've lost interest in books since it's so hard to see anymore... and I used to read 2-3 a week. And studied copiously, too...

Yep. It's time. Sadly....
I remember how wonderful it felt when my vision was 20/15.... whole world looked different

Mines only 27". Time for an upgrade!!!

Lol.... I looked for one of those cheap on Black Fri., but they were all sold out. Did you guys buy them to sell to the unsuspecting elderly??

Huh?
Some high school caught ME off guard. He kept calling me "sir" So I assume he thought I was elderly....
Now I need a little monkey and a beggers cup and i'm good to go!

Getting older sux. Lol

I was with my friend at the mall, and there was this 24-25 year old at a kiosk who flirted with a couple old ladies to make us feel good (and to make a sale). We kept talking about how cute and adorable he was.

Thing is, we both laughed so hard, because instead of seeing him as a HOTTIE as we would have decades ago.... we were comparing him to our sons and seeing him as cute from an indulgent motherly (grandmotherly????) way.

I ended up getting a larger phone with a larger virtual keyboard. Found it really made a difference and less 'pinch to zoom'.

Guess I will have to switch one day. Just hate spending the $$$

I bought one of those senior citizen friendly phones. It has a 52 inch flat screen with backpack straps and a keyboard the size of an accordion.

I have in and got glasses.

Only wear them for reading.

Realized how bad my eyes were getting when I couldn't see to tie hooks onto fishing line, and when I'm reading a book tired I end up with one eye shut and the book an arm length away!

Hahaha... same with me, with reading!

I broke down and got the drugstore "readers...." but I prob need actual glasses. Especially since I wear the drugstore ones more and more often (sigh) as they actually help me with reading AND distance

It gets worse...lol...something to look forward too. Adapt or...well actually there is no other option available...so adapt it has to be. Accept the inevitable.

I'm thinking it's soon going to be time to check into Lasik... there are always deals going on ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'm just a little afraid because I probably WON'T be a good candidate for it...and I guess I will have to get multiple opinions because I don't want a doc saying they can do it if that's not really the case.

I had radial keratotomy in 1993... before Lasik was even a "thing." So my eyes have actually been cut vs. Lasered...means never being able to wear contacts and possibly not being able to have Lasik.

Buuutttt.... perfect vision from 1993 til about a year ago.... was awesome

Itโ€™s all dependent on use.
There should be guidance online somewhere weโ€™re you can punch in what is likely to be used.

Where I live I can get up to 500mbps. I donโ€™t need that much as Iโ€™m mostly here by myself. My line is 100mbps to cater for proper streaming and downloads.
There will be more load when everyone is on at the same time, so you basically just have to try and see.

I would say itโ€™s importent not to have a binding contract so that you can see if itโ€™s enough and be able to change if need be.
It can also be good to search around a bit for good deals and also to call them up and complain about everything as you then might get additional data for free.

A colleague of mine called the cable company two or three times a month to complain and managed to get a lot of extras for free.
This is if you have the conscience to do so.
The companies rip people off anyways.

Thank you so much for the advice :) I have a terabyte of data each month and the speedbis 80mbps, much slower than yours.

There is no contract and rates/plan won'tbchange for as long as I own the house.

There are only 2 companies who supply home wifi in my area and I checked with both....
